The Shrieking Shack
Rio, a stout boy with red hair was walking to school when he came across a famous but not visited monument in town- The Shrieking Shack. It was rumoured that a ghost or spook dwelt there. His parents had forbidden him to explore the shack, but his inquisitive mind thought differently.
Rio thought just a minute would not hurt. So, he opened the ancient, charred oak door and ventured inside. Just as he took a brave step in, the door behind was shut and all means of escape including windows wouldn’t budge. And then the supernatural powers started working. There were shrieks everywhere and swift movements. Any other kid would have began crying but Rio took a deep breath and asked, “Who is there?”
Suddenly a spooky voice sounded behind him.
“Hello, who are you?”
“I am Rio. Who are you?” said Rio.
“I am Shriek. You are a brave boy no other being has been so close to me. So, I must reward you.” said the spook.
The spook presented him two gold bars. The boy’s eyes were filled with glee. He accepted the reward filled with awe and with pleasure.
